Demeyere Alu Pro 5 12-inch Ceramic Nonstick Fry Pan

The Alu Pro 5 12-inch is a large nonstick pan for family breakfasts, a full batch of crêpes or fish fillets for four, and its 9.4-inch flat base gives each portion room to brown. The ceramic nonstick surface lets eggs and fish release cleanly with a small amount of oil.

Demeyere forges the body from aluminum, which keeps a pan this size easy to lift, and builds a TriplInduc plate into the base, which heats quickly and efficiently on induction and protects the pan from warping. A flared stainless rim gives a mess-free pour, adds durability and keeps the coating at the edge from chipping and peeling. The coating holds up longest at low to medium heat, which Demeyere recommends. A large aluminum pan comes up to temperature quickly even at those settings, so preheat briefly before adding fat and food.

A household of one or two will find the 10-inch Alu Pro 5 quicker to heat and easier to store. When the job calls for a hard sear on steak or chops, use a stainless pan like the Industry 5 12.5-inch fry pan, which tolerates higher heat. Our guide to Demeyere cookware compares the stainless and nonstick collections.

    Before First Use

    Remove the labels and packaging, then wash in warm water with a little dish soap, rinse and dry. The coating needs no seasoning.


    Tips for Best Results

    • Add a little oil or butter before heating, and never heat the pan empty or let it boil dry.
    • Avoid aerosol cooking sprays, which Demeyere advises against.
    • Demeyere’s product page rates the coating safe for metal utensils, but its general care manual recommends wood, nylon or silicone for nonstick pans. We suggest the gentler tools to extend the life of the surface.
    • The stainless handle can get hot in the oven. Use a pot holder or oven mitt.

    Care

    Let the pan cool before washing. Wash with warm water, dish soap and a soft sponge; avoid steel wool, abrasive powders and bleach. Demeyere lists the pan as dishwasher safe, but washing by hand is gentler on the coating. Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water.
